From the founder
Message from the Founder's Desk
The level of technology and professional competency within the industry has advanced significantly, alongside frequent regulatory changes in the field of Environmental Sciences and Technology in India. Despite this progress, there remains a critical shortage of skilled professionals in the waste management and recycling sector. This gap highlights an urgent need to strengthen knowledge and capabilities through focused awareness, advocacy, consultancy, and training initiatives.
While Ashrita Bio Foundation continues to focus on rural academia & SME capacity building, Ashrita Institute for Waste Management & Research (AIWMR) plays a pivotal role as a catalyst between industry and academia. It is actively engaged in upscaling, upgrading & equipping capacity of aspiring students, research scholars, working professionals, managers, academicians, and entrepreneurs with the necessary skills to address existing challenges and bridge industry gaps.
Sectors such as Waste Management, Recycling, Environment Management are witnessing increasing demand, with growing opportunities to deliver impactful projects and programs across multiple countries.

What people say about Ashrita
Interns, faculty, scientists and industry professionals on what working with our team changed for them.
The personalized guidance and one-on-one career counseling from Ashrita Bio truly added value to my professional journey. The team's constant encouragement and support motivated me to move forward with confidence.
I enrolled in a short-term course at Ashrita Bio, and it significantly improved my career competitiveness. I highly recommend their programs to anyone looking to build expertise in Waste Management and Laboratory Practices.
The support and mentorship provided by the Ashrita Bio team throughout my project journey was exceptional. Their practical guidance and career-focused approach helped me gain valuable industry exposure.
My internship at one of the pioneer companies like Ramky was not possible without the reference of Ashrita Enviro Services.
Thanks to the new generation Waste Management & Environmental education by the Ashrita group, which elevated me to an opportunity overseas for research studies.
I would like to thank Mr. Sushanth Gade for the services he has been providing — these times need exactly such efforts. I have known him personally for the past 20 years, and for the best part of it he has had a constant desire to establish an organisation to serve the scientific community.
Thanks to the mentors of Ashrita Bio Services, who provided me ample opportunity to enhance my skills and knowledge in laboratory methodologies and technologies.
